Custom Rubber Gaskets

At Accubeam Laser, we provide contract laser cutting, marking, and engraving services for machine builders and OEMs across defense, aerospace, medical, electronics, and transportation markets. Custom rubber gaskets are one of our core offerings, and we also cut gaskets from cork and from metals such as aluminum and stainless steel. Our AS9100D-certified, ITAR-registered facility gives engineering and purchasing teams a quality system built for regulated defense and aerospace programs.

Below, we outline our gasket materials, our laser cutting process, and the industries our gaskets serve.

Choosing the Right Gasket Material

A gasket’s job is simple on paper: keep two mating surfaces sealed against fluid, gas, or contaminant intrusion. Getting there reliably means matching the material to what the part will face in service. Temperature swings, chemical exposure, pressure loads, and even UV exposure all narrow the field of viable compounds, and the wrong choice shows up later as a seal failure, not a spec sheet problem.

We laser-cut gaskets from a broad selection of materials, including rubber, cork, and metal:

High-temperature & chemical-resistant: Silicone, fluorosilicone, Viton™, and EPDM

Mechanical & industrial compounds: Neoprene®, butyl, nitrile (Buna-N/NBR), hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR), epichlorohydrin (ECH), and natural rubber

Specialty & engineered materials: 3M™ VHB™ tapes, conductive rubber, cloth-inserted rubber, Hypalon®, Santoprene™, SBR, thermoplastic rubber, and polyurethane

Cork: Plain cork and Buna-N/cork blends for low-pressure sealing, such as oil pans, valve covers, and transmission pans

Metals: Aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel

Our team can review temperature thresholds, chemical compatibility, and compression set requirements with you to help select the right material before production. For example, silicone handles a wide temperature range, and neoprene resists weathering and oils.

Our Custom Gasket Manufacturing Process

Laser cutting is our specialty for gasket manufacturing. Non-contact laser cutting delivers tight tolerances without the tool wear or edge distortion common in mechanical die-cutting.

For sealed electronics housings and fuel delivery components, laser cutting supports consistent edge geometry and precise feature placement across short runs and high-volume production. Because laser cutting needs no dies, it also avoids upfront tooling charges, which makes prototyping and design changes faster and less costly.

For parts that need intricate or unusual geometries, a laser gives us more flexibility than die cutting allows.

Our team handles orders at both ends of the volume spectrum. A short run for a one-off prototype and a full production order for an OEM assembly line both run through our AS9100D-certified quality system, backed by decades of industry experience.

To support complex production schedules, we build specialized tooling for handling unique parts and automating large production runs. We also offer a Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) program, in which we manage the warehousing and shipping of your recurring orders.

Industrial Applications of Laser-Cut Gaskets

We manufacture custom gaskets for high-reliability environments in these sectors:

Defense & aerospace. Our ITAR-registered, AS9100D-certified facility supplies gaskets for regulated programs.

Medical devices. Gaskets for medical devices are often cut from materials that meet USP biocompatibility requirements and must withstand rigorous cleaning and sterilization.

Electronics & OEMs. Environmental seal gaskets protect sensitive instruments from dust, moisture, and EMI/RFI.

Transportation & heavy equipment. We cut durable seals for engines, transmissions, cooling systems, fuel supply lines, and electrical junctions.

Beyond these primary sectors, we process custom gaskets for chemical processing, energy, and general machinery OEMs.
